Well, I decided the only thing to do was to get my hartford out in the garden and get it cleaned up. Looking at it spread out on the lawn i got it into my head that it would be good to pitch it. 45 min. later all done, on my own, how's that for female ingenuity!!! Well chuffed with myself, and it turns out the spotting was only on one pole sleeve and the rest is all ok :o) Roll on Sunday, I'm raring to go now.
Well done but don't tell oh or you might just find you've been given the job permanently
you've inspired me, I need to finish drying ours after w/end so will give it a go when youngest has gone to pre school (don't want him learning any new words)

Glad I bought my evo before i did this, OH said if he'd known I could put the hartford up on my own we wouldn't have needed to buy it.!! Must think these things thro more carefully in future lol
Well done on managing on your own! Nothing can be more frustrating than relying on another person to find him/her let you down at the last minute!
